#like MADAM RED

[black-butler-confessions]

Grell could do so much better than Sebastian, William, and Undertaker. I know having a masochistic streak is one of her charm points but I'd love for her to get a crush on someone who would actually treat her well and is into her.

Girls. Girls.

#this didn't fit like i wanted but whatever whatever #i have a fever but i still have the energy for parallel posts <3 #kuroshitsuji #my kuro posts #redcliff #madame red #grelle sutcliff #they took suuuch sexy pictures for this musical #i think their relationship should have got a little more focus than it ended up having but.

I feel like there should be some sort of interaction between Ciel and Grell. I mean, this is the reaper that killed his aunt in front of him and wears her coat everywhere. That's gotta cause some sort of emotional response.

#their interactions just seem so impersonal #but I feel like Ciel should have some hate or at least strong dislike for the reaper #idk just thoughts #kuroshitsuji #black butler #ciel phantomhive #sebastian michaelis #yana toboso #grell sutcliff #madame red #angelina dalles #kuroshitsuji 210 #black butler 210

Trouble should get a hat. Reason: the idea of Trouble touching the brim of his hat and saying "ma'am" is hot and seems like peak Trouble behavior

Honestly, hard agree. I also think he's the only one who could pull something like that off (other than Red) without sounding sarcastic glfdjgdgdf

#Chase calling anyone 'ma'am' just gets him suspicious squints #Blade doesn't uh really defer to anyone in that way LMAO he salutes to his military superiors #but even when he was younger he could be a bit shirty about it #and now he doesn't answer to anybody so he just kind of turns around and walks away when the conversation is done #the most you get is a nod of acknowledgement before he leaves LMAO #i guess Halek could pull it off too but only if he could be arsed to be polite #Riel calls no one 'ma'am' it's 'madam' and it's always either polite or scathing - there is no in-between #and like I said Red could pull it off but he'd never put a hat over that carefully-styled hair 😭 #Shepherds of Haven #Trouble #Trouble Alder

“Read the manga,” they said. “It’s better than the anime,” they said.

A tragic parallel between the F.O.L orphanage and Baron Kelvin’s workhouse

I wanted to point out that it’s interesting “the oldest siblings” of each group actually aren’t the ones getting their “fledging day” first. 

In fact, as we could see with this chapter, little Ginny who was scared of horses, something unbefitting of her aptitude as a Corgi, is the one who got a sudden “fledging day”. 

Thanks to this chapter, it’s also pretty obvious that “the oldest siblings” know where the other kids are sent, as indicated by Oliver’s and Artie’s scared reactions in this chapter.

The “oldest siblings” being aware of what’s going on also explains why Oliver sort of “protected” Daniel, when he conveyed to the adults that he didn’t fit in the Collie group. 

In other words, when the operation needs a kid (for blood or some other reason), it’s those who don’t fit in who get taken first so, Ginny aside, we should also definitely worry about Daniel but also Nick from the Pomeranian group.

Focusing a little bit on Artie, a Mastiff, who brought Daniel, a Collie, to his class and Oliver who interrupted Daniel talking about “fledging day”, it seems the “oldest siblings” are trying as hard as they can to protect the other kids from meeting a terrible fate. This also explains Theo’s helpful attitude with Ginny in the last chapter: 

However, despite Theo’s best efforts, the adults noticed that Ginny was not living up to her aptitudes as a Corgi and she’s now about to reach “fledging day”. ://

The “oldest siblings” also definitely know that Doll is probably the one who’s watching over the whole orphanage operation, as indicated by their reactions when Snake introduced himself as Doll’s acquaintance...

...And it’s very interesting, because I think it creates a parallel with Doll’s own situation, back when she was alive. 

After all, as a kid from Kelvin’s workhouse, when she joined Noah’s Ark, Doll began abducting kids with Joker and co to satisfy Kelvin’s madness but also to protect their younger siblings back at the orphanage. However, this was all for naught, as Kelvin had already killed those kids for his mad project, something our!Ciel discovered at the end of the arc.

At F.O.L orphanage, the “oldest siblings” act similarly: they were probably told the sad truth behind this orphanage and they have no other way but to go along with it in order to survive, which makes them accomplices, while still trying as hard as they can to protect many of their fellow “siblings” so that they won’t get to their “fledging day” too quickly. 

It’s tragic really and, since they think Snake and Finny are Doll’s friends, they probably won’t trust them to help. :/ 

The single silver ray of hope I have is that Theo reminds Finny of someone: could be either twins or it could be a kid from Finny’s own tragic past from that scientific lab in Germany and, in that case, if Theo can eventually trust Finny, then maybe Finny and Snake will learn the truth and help save all these kids.

It would also make a beautiful parallel with Theo reading Fenian cycle... 

...since our Finny is indeed stronger than many others and could definitely help saving them. 

TL;DR Doll probably pushed the “oldest siblings” into the same situation that she experienced when she was alive: become accomplices in order to survive but also to protect innocent children, which is exactly how she lost herself and died. Here’s to hoping that Snake (who wasn’t a part of Noah’s Ark abduction ring) and Finny (who’s very strong) will be able to realize the truth in time, in order to help these children.

I'm just professionally curious, who do you ship Angelina with?

So far, I enjoy Madame Red x Grell, that's the only romantical ship I like with her for now (give me some time and I'll probably cook up the most bizarre Madame red rarepair/rarepairs sooner or later) But platonically I enjoy the duo between her and Lau, because lesbian woman and gay man best friends (their dynamic is like the drag queens trixie and katya btw)

#I know you're asking for like romantic ships but I only have redcliff. is all I got #but also I'm taking every chance to spread my Angelina and Lau friendship propaganda #black butler #kuroshitsuji #grell sutcliff #grelle sutcliff #madame red #angelina dalles #redcliff #grell x angelina #grelle x angelina #lau #black butler grelle #black butler grell #black butler angelina #black butler lau #not an art post #mono ask

[milfhandholder]

You know what would've sucked? If Grell never killed Madam Red, if the two just broke apart from the heat of their relationship after the Jack the Ripper arc, if they started to live life as though the other never existed ONLY to then meet each other again later on in the story

#I've recently watched Past Lives and I think redcliff should be like that #specifically I want Madam as Hae Sung and Grell as Nora with Will as Arthur for a bonus #the kuroshitposting is back for a brief moment babes #kuroshitsuji #black butler #grell sutcliff #kuroshitsuji grell #madame red #kuroshitsuji madame red #redcliff

should I try to make kuro themed outfit collages from my closet….👀

#obviously I’m going to regardless #xcept I don’t think I have much for the non goth coded characters like lizzie grelle or madame red but we’ll see 😭 #kuroshitting

[eemoo1o-animoo]

It’s so odd watching An/Madam Red reminisce over Ciel as a child (alongside Lizzie) when you know with I guess foresight, or is it hindsight, that that’s actually most likely r!Ciel and o!Ciel is stuck indoors with Tanaka crying as he looks longingly out of the window at everyone hugging and playing, only to then sadly turn to his plate of birthday cake and start singing happy birthday to himself.

#the birthday thing is an exaggeration (as it’s probably a warmer season and not Dec 14) and also an Inside Job reference (brett). #not using images for this because it spans over a few pages. y’all know what flashback I mean. #if rachael is allowed out with her asthma looking like pregnancy was not a good choice for her in her rocking chair then so should ciel! #black butler #kuroshitsuji #ciel phantomhive #our ciel phantomhive #real ciel phantomhive #madam red #madame red #angelina dalles #red butler arc #chapter 10 #the manga #original post #shitpost #em’s manga reading experience
